Chapter 1: Banishment.
Astrid Hofferson and Hiccup Haddock III stood before the Stoick the Vast and the elders of the village of Berk. Behind the two 15-year-old Vikings stood their Dragons, Toothless and Blaze. The two Vikings prayed to the gods and hoped that whatever punishment is giving it won't be death. The door opened to the hall and Goober walked in with a lifeless Snotlout over his shoulder. Goober lay the body down between the two Vikings and Stoick and the elders. Stoick and the elders talked amongst themselves and Hiccup whispered to Astrid, "I'll take full blame on whatever punishment is given."
Astrid quickly punched Hiccup in the arm and said, "We're both taking the blame. Snotlout was killed by both our dragons."
Stoick stood up and hollered, "For the past two years we lived with the dragons with no problem, and now not only have two dragons gone and killed one of us, but two Vikings knew about the murder and tried to cover it up!" Stoick looked at his son and Astrid and yelled, "From this day forth you two are banished from Berk with no one but your dragons to accompany you forever!"
Ruffnut walked up to the two Vikings and said to Stoick, "I'll see to it that they'll leave the Village."
The three Vikings walked out of the hall with Toothless and Blaze following them. As they walked towards the cliffs of Berk Hiccup said, "Ruff, you have to listen, Snotlout was taunting Toothless and Blaze, we warned him but he didn't listen."
Instead of listening Ruffnut pushed Hiccup and ordered, "Keep walking you two! The sooner you and your damn dragons get away from here the better!"
"Ruff, you know we wouldn't let Toothless or Blaze hurt another Viking," Astrid explained, "I taught Blaze that she's not allowed to hurt anyone!"
Ruff got even more angry and yelled, "I said keep walking!"
They made it to the cliffs of Berk where Astrid got on Blaze and Hiccup got on Toothless. Without another word the two Vikings flew away from Berk for the final time as their banishment started to set in.
